Emblematic of the difficult season, Fresno State has used four quarterbacks. And two – Chason Virgil and Ford Childress – had season-ending injuries.

That leaves Zack Greenlee and Kilton Anderson. And while Greenlee has started the past two games, Anderson finished last week’s 52-10 loss at BYU and DeRuyter reiterated this week will be an open competition between the two.

What’s ahead in 2016? DeRuyter said he’s talked to his team about the example set by Air Force.

“I’ve mentioned that several times to our team,” DeRutyer said. “I don’t want them thinking that since I’m a graduate from there that’s why I’m doing it. It’s just an example. … They’re a little bit like us: very young and beat up. and during the offseason they re-committed to what they need to do and those guys got older and found ways to win games.

“I have every confidence that our guys will do the same thing.”

DeRuyter added that the unavailability of players because of injuries is “not an excuse.”

“After the season is over, we’ll evaluate,” he said. “Exactly what those reasons are” for the poor record and “what we have to do to fix those things.”
